Menu of the AreaTester main window

Menu bar

The menu bar of the main window of the AreaTester app is shown in Fig. 1. The menu bar contains the following items: Edit, Export and Mark.

Item Edit

• (1) Add all to the list • Allows to add to the main window list all the areas detected by the app in the objects selection set.
• (2) Select all • Selects all areas previously added to the main window list for subsequent actions: sorting, removing or merging.
• (3) Remove from the list • Removes the selected objects from the main window list.
• (4) Merge selected areas • Combines selected areas that share common boundaries. If objects do not have common boundaries, then it is not possible to combine such objects.
• (5) Rebuild indexes • The procedure for recalculating and updating indexes is activated, starting with the index of the initial value (see Program Settings section). Recalculation of indexes may be necessary after sorting or editing (removing, merging) the data in the list of areas.

Item Export
